ETTA JAMES

Few female R&B stars enjoyed the kind of consistent acclaim Etta James received 

throughout a career that spanned six decades; the celebrated producer 

Jerry Wexler once called her "the greatest of all modern blues singers," 

and she recorded a number of enduring hits, including "At Last," "Tell Mama," 

"I'd Rather Go Blind," and "All I Could Do Was Cry." 

At the same time, despite possessing one of the most powerful voices in music, 

James only belatedly gained the attention of the mainstream audience, 

appearing rarely on the pop charts despite scoring 30 R&B hits, 

and she lived a rough-and-tumble life that could have inspired a dozen 

soap operas, battling drug addiction and bad relationships 

while outrunning a variety of health and legal problems

SLEEVE NEAR EX (please, see pictures and read above description)

Although the 1970 album Losers Weepers was not a landmark in Etta James' career, 

and doesn't include any of her most famous or outstanding tracks, it's a solid enough 

album that has an edge on some of the other LPs from the later part of her time 

with Chess Records. To its credit, it doesn't seem to be trying as hard or 

self-consciously to absorb some influences from contemporary soul trends;

largely, it lets James do what she does best: give romantic songs everything 

she's got, without holding back on some of her grittiest phrasing and throatiest belting. 

Were the material up to her vocal finesse, this would be up there with the likes 

of what Aretha Franklin was doing at the time. It's not, but the songs are OK 

vehicles for her tense and frustrated takes on love. The title track gave her 

a small R&B hit, and is certainly the best song here. If it's a little reminiscent 

of her own "I'd Rather Go Blind" in the verse, the jubilant, ascending chorus 

sets it off as a worthwhile tune on its own merits (and the next track, 

"Weepers," is a "part two" of sorts that also served as the B-side). 

It's a satisfying mix of ballads and more uptempo cuts ...(AllMusic)
